Ep. 10: Cults and Courts with Carol
Manage episode 356258909 series 2774419
While listening to the stories on Generation Cult, do you ever wonder at what point people can take legal action against their abusers? Do you want to know what charges have been brought against coercive groups and taken seriously in the courts?
In this episode, Dhyana interviews attorney Carol Merchasin, who has brought successful lawsuits on behalf of people who were sexually abused in Buddhist, yoga and cult-like groups. Join us as we discuss the most effective ways to approach cases against high-demand organizations and how the playing field has changed in the post #metoo/Harvey Weinstein world.
***This episode contains discussions about sexual assault
Carol works with the London-based firm McAllister Olivarius and can be reached directly at cmerchasin@mcolaw.com
Here's a link to a paper we discuss on the show about using the argument of undue influence to prosecute (as opposed to attacking a group's beliefs): https://articles2.icsahome.com/articles/prosecuting-an-ex-members-undue-influence-suit-levy
